Guest students (or free movers) are enrolled at universities which do not have exchange agreements with the University of Copenhagen.
As a guest student you are required to pay tuition fees for the courses you take at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.
Courses offered by the faculty are held during the day, and you will attend classes along with students studying full-time bachelor’s or master’s programmes.
If you wish to take one or two full semesters (30 ECTS per semester) at the University of Copenhagen, you must apply for admission through the university's central international office.
You can apply for single courses at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, if
- you have a Danish residence permit, or
- if you are citizen in a country where visa/residence permit to Denmark is not needed
If you do not fulfil these requirements, you can only apply to the University of Copenhagen as a full-time student. Only full-time students obtain a residence permit in Denmark.
You may apply for admission to selected bachelor’s and master’s courses at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.
You may apply for admission in courses as long as you meet the admission requirements. Meeting the requirements does not a guarantee admission which is also dependent on availability.
